My first time at a casino

Was awesome. A few years before the poker boom, mind you.

I had learned basic strategy for Mohegan Sun's Blackjack game. Dealer stands soft, double any 2, late surrender.

Having very little understanding of variance, I sat down at a $25 min post game, and ran 200 to 600 in about 15 hands.

And then I got up, and made the four hour drive back home (nearest casino is where?? ... in my dreams!).

I was reminded of that tonight: I made nearly a Buy In in as many hands as that 9 hour tour so many years ago. Note that this is not really a hit and run since the guy I stacked left the table -- still, I'm calling it a night.
